These days the triple number draws quite some attention; is frequently cited and referred to; often taken out of context and if you read up on the source (Revelation 13:1-18) you do not get much of an idea about what you are really dealing with. Clearly there are some passages in the biblical text that can be easily transferred to present days, and comprehended with our modern mind. One of the most quoted ones seems to be – “… the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name …. .” The other parts of the Revelation do not offer such a quick comprehension and for that reason this particular section seems to be the one that went mainstream. If you look it up you will find ancient historical connections, roulette and connections to lottery, as well as individuals connected or deciphered by the number. One name that comes up, with great likelihood connected to the number, is Aleister Crowley, whose chart we will examine in part 3. …
Boeing 707 – the first flight and it’s possible connection to the MAX-8 and Covid-travel restrictions – free content
“Augury is the practice from ancient Roman religion of interpreting omens from the observed behavior of birds. When the individual, known as the augur, interpreted these signs, it is referred to as “taking the auspices”. ‘Auspices’ is from the Latin auspicium and auspex, literally “one who looks at birds.” Depending upon the birds, the auspices from the gods could be favorable or unfavorable (auspicious or inauspicious)” – Wikipedia. So, what would an ancient Roman have interpreted into the first flight of a metal build plane capable of carrying more than 100 people? Difficult to say, especially since the December day of the inaugural flight was so rainy that the flight only took 7 minutes before it had to return. Aside from that, the noise of the four-engine jet would have most likely scared every bird out of the sky; that, almost like an omen on its own, the metal plane then replaced the birds with its own appearance. A couple of weeks ago …
In 2009 the WHO changed the definition of an influenza pandemic – free content
Did the news sources you trust and follow tell you about this very undiscerning part of the coronavirus story? In 2009, the WHO changed the definition for the influenza pandemic. Not to sway the readers opinion on that worldwide hot topic – to give you an idea, here is an excerpt directly from the WHO bulletin page. Even then the change was considered controversial and experienced a wide range of critique: “Since 2003, the top of the WHO Pandemic Preparedness homepage has contained the following statement: ‘An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity, resulting in several simultaneous epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness.’ However, on 4 May 2009, scarcely one month before the H1N1 pandemic was declared, the web page was altered ….
When will those masks disappear ? – free content
If a European or North American travelled to the more densely populated centers of Asia they were sure to receive one free souvenir: The image connected with the lasting memory of people wearing masks on public transport and in public places. An expression of appearance we in the Western world were and possibly are not yet accustomed to. One can argue that the inhabitants of those bustling Asian centers wear masks to protect them from contaminated air or air transmitted diseases. Superficially, that argument makes possibly sense. But the actual cause of the phenomena is much more profound than the very trivial environmental or health argument. It goes way deeper into the process that is at the base of that development: an ever-increasing penetration of ….
EVENT 201 – October 18, 2019 – a global pandemic exercise – free content
A couple of days ago, a reader had sent me the link to a website of an event that took place way before the world was even talking about the Coronavirus. The event website – describes a come together of 15 global business, government, and public health players as following: ….. Event 201 was a 3.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based facilitated discussions, confronting difficult, true-to-life dilemmas associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic. 15 global business, government, and public health leaders were players in the simulation exercise that highlighted unresolved real-world policy and economic issues that could be solved with sufficient political will ….
Google – the “googoled” (1 with 100 zeroes) armed octopus of the internet
No words need to be spent to introduce the worldwide known internet platform and most visited website in the world. It is that well known and recognized, that the company name already found its way into the Oxford English Dictionary as a verb. You could call it a marketing dream come true. In its 22 years of existence it is dominating the online world and there are many that try to rival the search portal, but I guess at that point Google with a 86% market share comfortably owns the crown of being the internet go-to place. By now the company has made many household fixtures like maps, telephone directories, newspapers, now obsolete and has surely sent many encyclopedia publishers close to bankruptcy. And, as if knowing almost any question asked around the world is not enough, the company was even able to “sell a gift” to the trusting consumer – Google Nest – a so called echo device – the omnipresent ears of Silicon Valley ….
